Posted February 22, 2014 Planning on picking up the ZM 1 Mic and was wondering if u guys thought I needed to buy a cheapo soundard with it like this? http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XONAR-Headphone-Audio-Card/dp/B0045JHJSS/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393046314&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=xoanr+dg . Would this improve it at all? I looked at a few videos and the mic sounded pretty good for the price its at and I wasnt sure if those guys were using soundcards or not. I would only use this for like VOIP and skype. Btw I have the onboard soundcard that came with my motherboard because i didnt need one. I gots dt 880 with fiio e10 :3.

Posted February 22, 2014 It might make a difference but not much, or enough to notice My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 22, 2014 It'd be far better to put that money into a good desktop mic if the Zalman isn't good enough for your usage. $40 gets you a Blue Snowflake which is all you'd need for VoIP.
